Peter Dinklage Seeks Palin Impression Advice From The Master

Douglas Reinhardt — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 15:00:27 EDT

Hunky indie film star Peter Dinklage approached the Jedi master of Sarah Palin impressions, Tina Fey for a few helpful tips on how to nail down Palin’s legendary wink. Fey said that there was nothing special about the wink, other than simply winking. Fey demonstrated her wink, which floored Dinklage. After watching Fey wink a few times, Dinklage developed enough courage to perform his own Palin wink. Fey winced slightly as Dinklage’s eyelid shut tightly and quickly reopened. Dinklage asked for some feedback and Fey said that he was going to need a lot of practice.

PETA's Nominees For Sexiest Male Vegetarian Could Use Some Meat

Molly Friedman — Mon, 19 May 2008 16:20:00 EDT

Those adorably violent animal lovers over at PETA have temporarily ceased from attacking fur-toting starlets with tomatoes to round up their nominees for this year’s Sexiest Vegetarian award. And judging by the list of potential winners, it seems that granola-loving male celebrities are seriously lacking in the “sexy” department as compared to their female counterparts. Herbivores like Naomi Watts and Natalie Portman are listed among the ladies, whereas guyliner fans, racist talk show hosts and '80s heartthrob-turned-has-beens make up the majority of the male contenders. We take a closer look at the uneven distribution after the jump.

Though Woody Harrelson, his buns of steel, and the very edible Justin Theroux do bring a bit of heat to the male vegetarian crowd, they hardly make up for the presence of Don Imus and Bob Barker, who would make far more appropriate candidates for the Hottest Sexist Vegetarian list. As much as we love and adore Peter Dinklage, we don't exactly fantasize about sipping tofu shakes with him in bed. Grouped with Serious Method Actor Jared Leto and failed comeback kid Corey Feldman, the full list (in its entirety here) isn't inspiring us to convert to nuts and berries any time soon.

Beloved character actor Peter Dinklage attempted to get some face time with his The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian co-star Tilda Swinton at the film's premiere, but Swinton would not lower her neck to look down. Swinton insisted that Dinklage stand on an apple box if he would like to have a conversation. According to sources, Swinton said, "Peter, I've won an Oscar, so basically I'm allowed to do whatever crazy thing I want to do for the rest of the year. So, come on, let's find some phone books or a booster seat and let's catch up. How's your family?"
